Frank Dismissed Following Newcastle Loss

Spurs Plummet Down the Table
The North London side’s critical state has been underscored by their position in the league table. Tottenham currently occupy 16th place in the Premier League, holding only a five-point lead over the relegation zone. The club has failed to register a single victory in its last eight league fixtures, marking their poorest run since 2008. Over their most recent seventeen matches, Spurs have collected just two wins.
| Current Position | Points Above Relegation Zone | Last 8 Matches | Last 17 Matches | 2025/26 Record (W-D-L) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16th | 5 | 0 wins | 2 wins | 7-8-11 |
Stark Contrast Between European and Domestic Form
Thomas Frank was appointed to the managerial role in June last year, succeeding Ange Postecoglou, with a contract set to run until 2028. While he could not steady his squad’s domestic form, Frank did lead Tottenham to guaranteed progression into the Champions League round of 16. Nevertheless, this European accomplishment proved insufficient to counterbalance the club’s domestic woes.
Domestic Cup Exits Add Pressure
Tottenham’s performances in England’s cup competitions further dented hopes of ending the club’s trophy drought. Spurs bowed out of the Carabao Cup after defeat against Newcastle, and were eliminated from the FA Cup by Aston Villa. With aspirations for local honours dashed, both supporters and club officials were left disillusioned.
Frank’s Brief Tenure Summed Up
Frank’s stint in North London concludes after recording 7 wins, 8 draws, and 11 losses in the current campaign. The search for his successor is now underway as Tottenham aim to reverse their fortunes.
